OPERATION
The Master Switch also provides power to the “Deck Float”, “Shield” and “Travel Lock” Functions of the mower
deck.
The Deck Float function allows the ground roller of the flail mower head to follow the contour of the ground. To
operate the deck float function, the Master switch must be in the “ON” position and the Travel Lock switch must
be in the “OFF” position. Lower the mower head to just touch the ground, then turn the deck float switch “ON”.
The Deck Float is to be used ONLY when the flail mower head is on the ground. The
mower head CAN NOT be controlled with the joystick when Deck Float is “ON”.
The deck float is to be used only when mowing with a flail head, using the deck float with
a rotary head may damage the mower.
The Safety Shield switch opens and closes the shield located on the front of the cutter head. When mowing at
or near the ground, always have the shield in the closed position. When mowing in brush or in trees above
ground level the shield may be opened for easier cutting. Read and follow the warnings on the decal shown
below.
The Travel Lock function locks the mower head in the up-right position for road travel.
Prepare unit for travel by rolling deck completely out (mower deck rolled back adjacent to
secondary boom.) Then place main and secondary booms in boom rest. The Travel Lock
switch can now be engaged.
NOTE: The tractor ignition switch and the Master Switch must be “ON” and the Travel Lock must be “OFF” to
allow articulation of the mower deck.
